On her TLC show, Sarah Palin said Tweeting "refudiate" was a mistake: "I pressed an F instead of a P and people freaked out." However, the letters aren't near each other, and she'd used the word before on Fox News.

Sarah Palin caused a kerfuffle by making up a Bushian non-word word ("refudiate") in one of her tweets yesterday. Canny! By forcing liberals to focus on her poor English, she's distracting them from the tweet's substance: xenophobic anti-Muslim sentiment.
